Wow., the best macro image I have seen on this Forum for a long time, well done, I think you are being very self critical re focus of back of bee!
I want one too!

OK, here it is:
Lilly. This is very good. All the credit to the photographer, not least for her choice of lens!
I love the use of the slightly brownish black. For a competition print, some darkroom work might tone down the slight over-exposure on the right cheekbone, but that is my only criticism (except that a real print would be even better).
Second prize.

Thank you George for your appraisal and for pointing out to me the slight o/e on his right cheek, TBH I didn't even notice it, but it is something that I have missed before, spotting the hot spots on my images, I will be double checking in future - a lesson learnt. I have since corrected as best I can and think it looks a lot better now? we live and learn...OK, here it is:

nice shot - well caught .. are they silver gulls there in NSW?
ps, my fav bit tho' is WA & NT, wild and beautiful...
I have never heard them referred to as silver gulls so i guess you learn something every day. You can't go wrong in WA and the NT both wonderful places. Have you been into Kakadu national park in NT :Lilly Wrote

Lilly i have never heard of them being called Silver Gulls before. I only know them as seagulls. If you are refering to the colour they are a brilliant white
Just checked my Ozzie field guide to birds, have spent a lot of time all round your lovely country and am a keen bird watcher too. Lilly i have never heard of them being called Silver Gulls before. I only know them as seagulls. If you are refering to the colour they are a brilliant white

Well, so as you can impress someone in the future they are called 'Silver Gulls' they are the only gulls you have with a red beak there in Oz.Lilly i have never heard of them being called Silver Gulls before. I only know them as seagulls. If you are refering to the colour they are a brilliant white

Edit: in fact, I'd say damn good either way. Doing this even with AF with them this close and moving diagonally towards you would not be easy - and they're small, too, so AF brings its own problems.
Edit 2: Strewth, and the lens was almost wide open too.
I'm seriously impressed with this.

A manual focus one? Damn good, if so. Pretty good, even if not!! You even got them to look at the camera I took this with the K100d with a 50mm 1.7
